Veranderlijke satijnzwam

Entoloma olivaceotinctum

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Entoloma olivaceotinctum faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized grassland ecosystems. Agricultural intensification and nitrogen deposition have altered soil chemistry and plant communities in the species' preferred calcareous grasslands. Urban development and recreational activities further fragment remaining suitable habitats, while climate change may be shifting the delicate moisture and temperature conditions this fungus requires for fruiting.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species occurs in nutrient-poor calcareous grasslands and chalk downs, typically forming mycorrhizal associations with grasses and herbs in unimproved pastures. It favors short-turf grasslands with alkaline soils that have remained undisturbed by intensive agricultural practices.
